Outreach

The School of Psychology runs activities for primary, secondary and further education students both on-campus and during visits to schools and colleges. Through our activities we aim to stimulate interest in the the subject and raise the aspirations of groups who are under-represented in higher education.

Sixth formers have recently had an opportunity to experience university-style teaching alongside current undergraduates, as well as providing valuable additional knowledge to contribute to their A Level psychology studies. These lecture topics include Attachment & Emotional Development and Psychopathology.

The school also participates in the University's Aim Higher and Gifted & Talented programmes.

Volunteer

The school is regularly looking for volunteers to take part in paid or unpaid psychological studies. Volunteers could be asked to do a range of things if they take part. Most of the studies will require a visit to campus and occasionally will be asked to complete the studies online. Volunteers can participate in our studies by registering on the Research Participant System.

Community University Engagement

UEA has a small dedicated Community University Engagement team, Julie Worrall and Ruth Selwyn-Crome, who are on hand to advise staff and students about different aspects of their engagement activity including ideas, planning, evaluation and impact. Financial and practical assistance is also available via a Small Expenses Fund and the loan of equipment such as audio recorders. You can find more information and case studies on the Community University Engagement website.
